The score ended 3-3 after extra time, before the Albiceleste won 4-2 on penalties.
Super Eagles boss Jose Peseiro was in the stands for the final, and praised Lionel Scaloni’s side.
“Congratulations Argentina on winning your third World Cup. It was an exciting game, what an incredible match! You deserve every minute of this title, well done,” Peseiro tweeted.
The title wrapped up a wonderful two years for Argentina, winning the Copa America and the Finalisima.
